Yes, /etc/syslogd.conf is still intact, and nothing has been changed at 
all.  The problem apparently started at least on May 28, which is the 
date of /var/log/messages.4, and it and all the rest are size of 0.  
Just wondering if the last update I did had something to do with it.  
According to the yum log,  a new kernel was installed on the 30th, and 
between there and now, there have been a few updates to spamassassin, 
mysql, mailman, mysql-server, kdebase and sendmail.  Nothing else updated.
